Looking for some good ways to monetize your blog?
Being a content creator isn’t a simple job. It’s not super-glamorous like a movie star. And it sure won’t make you a billionaire overnight.
Here’s the comforting part: The only way anyone becomes a billionaire overnight is if they inherit the money.
The rest of us, we’re just going to have to work our way to the top creating, distributing, and monetizing our content. But creating content is hard enough. Add distribution to it, and that’s even tougher.
And then you have to spend more hours trying to monetize it?
That’s just so frustrating!
And that’s exactly why we’re going to show you 7 simple ways to start making money from your content right now.

#1. Become a PushEngage Publisher Partner
PushEngage is the #1 push notification software in the world.
Using PushEngage like everyone else, you can create automated push notification campaigns that sell even while you sleep!
And you can get a lot of website engagement and some killer sales as-is.
But if you already have a larger site audience, you can go one step further and become a PushEngage Publisher partner.
Here’s the skinny: We have integrations with ad partners such as Taboola and Outbrain.
So, if you’re using push notifications to engage a significantly large audience, we’ll give you our Enterprise subscription along with a dedicated Customer Success Manager for FREE!
And in return, we’ll either do a revenue split with you on any sales you make from the push notification campaigns. Or, we could even send 2-3 advertisements via push notifications to your subscribers every day to make bank.
Now, keep in mind: This deal isn’t for everyone. It’s a really exclusive club.
Typically, this is for news sites or significantly large blog sites.

#2. Display Google AdSense Ads On Your Blog Content
One of the simplest and time-tested ways to generate passive income from your blog is to display ads.
Yes, you can put up sponsored posts by getting sponsors manually (we’ll talk about that next).
But it’s really exhausting to keep finding good content creators to collaborate with. Google AdSense will automatically find and display relevant ads on your blog content. All you have to do is signup for Google AdSense and add a script from Google to your website.
Every time a website visitor either views the ads on your blog or clicks on them, you get paid a small commission. These are two separate advertising models, though. CPM (Cost Per Mile) ads pay you for every 1,000 views of an ad. CPC (Cost Per Click) ads pay you for ad clicks.
But in either case, your entire blog content becomes inventory to generate passive income.
Pro-Tip: You don’t necessarily have to use only Google AdSense to display ads on your blog. You can also check out our article on Google AdSense alternatives and use multiple ad exchanges to generate even more money from your existing content.
#3. Sell Sponsored Blog Posts
Displaying ads on your blog is an easy way to generate extra cash.
But that’s not necessarily the best way. Displaying ads can have its own problems. For one thing, there’s a limit to how much you can earn with ads. And then, there’s the issue of engagement. No one likes seeing ads. So, displaying too many ads can lead to losing a loyal audience.
One really good alternative is to sell sponsored blog posts on your site.
It’s a simple idea. You get paid to promote a product or a brand to your readers.
The only catch here is…
You have to label your sponsored content as sponsored content.

#4. Get Public Speaking Gigs as an Influencer
Public speaking isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. It requires some confidence on stage (or online) to be good at it.
But if you’re comfortable speaking to people, you can try to book some corporate gigs and work your way up to a TED Talk. Keep in mind, this only works if you’re an expert at something. It could be the niche you’re creating content in or it could be creating and promoting content in general.
Either way, you won’t have a lot of speaking gigs right away.
If you’re struggling to build up the right reputation, you could do small workshops and meetups in smaller communities.
This method of making extra revenue from your content isn’t exactly passive. You’ll have to put in a lot of work to get booked. But you can get paid quite a lot for each gig once you build up your reputation.
Here’s the thing, though: Your content can help you build your reputation and all you need to do is add a landing page that says that you’re open for business. And a few internal links from relevant high-traffic articles on your blog. It’s a simple way to increase your revenue and if you haven’t already, you should get started right now!
#5. Create Members Only Content
The concept of members-only content is most popular with Live Streaming.
But that’s not the only place you can use this concept. You can restrict access to your content in many ways.
One of the simpler ways is to create a gated content opt-in.
You can use it to collect emails:
Or, you could even collect premium members to your blog:
A nice way to create membership plans is by using MemberPress. It’s a beginner-friendly membership plugin for WordPress. Check out this complete guide on making a WordPress membership website with step-by-step instructions to help you get started.
#6. Sell Ebooks On Your Blog
Amazonが今日のようなeコマースの巨人になったのは、元々書籍から始まったからです。書籍は史上最大の販売品目の一つであり、販売できる書籍の数に終わりはありません。
しかし、さらに良いことに…自分の電子書籍を作成して、ブログで販売することもできます。
簡単です。まずリードマグネットを考えます。
優れたリードマグネットは有用であり、コアオーディエンスの非常に具体的な問題を解決します。
素晴らしいのは、メールアドレスと交換する代わりに、単に電子書籍を販売できることです。
一番良いところは？WordPressでデジタル製品を販売することは、プラグインを使えば非常に簡単です。電子書籍を販売するにはEasy Digital Downloadsの使用をお勧めします。使い方が非常に簡単で、デジタル製品を販売するために必要なすべての機能が備わっています。
#7. アフィリエイト製品のプロモーション
一番良いものを最後に取っておきました。
アフィリエイトマーケティングは、ブログから追加収入を生み出す最良の方法の1つです。これはスポンサー投稿とは異なります。スポンサーコンテンツを作成するために前払いされます。しかし、アフィリエイト製品はコミッションで支払われます。
販売するたびに、アフィリエイトコミッションが支払われます。
覚えておくべき重要な考え方は、アフィリエイトマーケティングは小さなニッチで運営する場合に最も効果的であるということです。競争の激しい大きなカテゴリーでは、そもそもオーガニックトラフィックを獲得することさえ困難です。しかし、製品を販売するための十分な権威を築くことはさらに困難であり、競争は通常非常に高いです。

まとめ
今回は以上です、皆さん！
覚えておいてください、ブログを収益化する方法を1つしか使用できないというルールはありません。サイト上のすべてのコンテンツは、直接または間接的に販売できる在庫です。いずれにしても、あなたの主な焦点は常にエンゲージメントであるべきです。
数ドル稼ぐためだけに、オーディエンスの半分を犠牲にすることはできません。
長期的には、エンゲージメントの高いオーディエンスはあなたからより頻繁に購入します。そして、エンゲージメントを高める新しい方法を探しているなら、プッシュ通知を試してみてください。
PushEngageを試して、今日から自動プッシュ通知キャンペーンをいくつか送信してください。PushEngageは世界No.1のプッシュ通知ソフトウェアです。したがって、あなたのキャンペーンは安全な手に委ねられます。
